Phobia – fear, is a complex of psychic symptoms, manifesting as uncontrollable fear and inner emotional experiences, with unnecessary alarm in specific situations or with premonition.
Facial redness in itself is not a pathological deviation – it is an acute reactive, reflexive manifestation – a response to shame, agitation, which is considered a protective reaction of the organism. However, an exaggerated feeling of fear regarding the body's protective manifestation is considered a psychological condition, where facial redness might be perceived by those around as fear, ignorance of a certain issue, or insincerity, due to a possible negative response. The manifestation of Erythrophobia particularly prevails among girls, due to the fear of losing external appearance and attractiveness.
